Treasury Features for July 2015

Treasuries that my items have been featured on Etsy in the month of July 2015.

 My Deer in the Forest by Papercherries from Papercherries is a cute collection of tiny deer and beautiful things you might find in the forest. The baby deer are especially sweet with their widdle biddy spots and cute widdle faces.

For you 2/15 by Nataliia Malik from NataliyaMalik created a treasury list of a beautiful combinations of red and black themed items.

 

 Original gifts by Nadezda Panina from Nadjaflower is a delicious and refreshing collection of blackberry themed gifts. Blackberries remind me of childhood when my brother and I would carefully reach passed the thorns to select plump juicy berries.

Tangles

I started working on a few zentangles this year. Zentangles are pictures created from repetitive designs. Here is one that I have been working on. I am thinking of using color on this picture, but haven't decided as of yet.

Treasury Features for June 2015

Treasuries that my items have been featured on Etsy in the month of June 2015.

Favorite Ice Cream Flavor ~ Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough  by Nicole Fischer of PaperDahlsLLC is a lovely collection of my favorite flavor as well. I want to bite into each and every one of these items, but I suspect some of them would not be very tasty.

 Wear your food by Katie Baker from MarysRemedies is a sweet little collection of wearable foods.

Fish Friday June 13-19, 2015

Another Friday has come and I am still watching fish. It is very relaxing and fun. There are so many different kinds of fish to see and you never know what will swim by each day.

My Other Crafts

I thought I might share some of the other crafts that I do besides polymer clay charms. These are things I have done or are working.

• Painting wooden animals - I get the wooden toy animals from Michaels and try to paint them to look as close to the real animals as possible.

• Quilting - I don't know much about quilting. My Granny use to quilt all the time, but I didn't take the time to learn from her when she was still alive. Now I have to teach myself. I am working on making a small quilt for my cat to lay on.

• Soap making - Right now I am just making melt and pour soap so that I can get the hang of color and scent concentrations. Besides it is very easy to make and almost instant gratification. I am planning to learn to make my own soap in the future.

• Tangles - I apparently have been drawing tangles for most of my life, but it didn't have a name for it. I just put different textures inside of pictures. I am interested in zen tangles and have been learning to do some of the official ones and working on some drawings using them.

I plan to do future blog posts about each of these individual crafts and others that I have not listed. I hope you will come back to see what else I have been up to.

Fish Friday: June 6 - 12, 2015

Sometimes I just really get into snapping screenshots of the live webcams. The week ends with hundreds of pictures and it is hard to pick which ones to showcase.
